What the stork brings

Yesterday: Stork, Snake, Ship

Three SSS, like a hissing snake…

My new computer arrived yesterday! I spent half the day waiting for it and they other half playing with it :) So the Stork and Ship literally brought stuff to me, expensive and luxurious stuff too, as the Ship indicates. I also ordered a couple of decks (Stork?) and one of them was ’shipped’ the same day. Naughty!

So far so good. What about the Snake? It stumped me a bit initially. The first idea was skiving off work yesterday, for the reasons mentioned above. It also makes me think there might be something wrong with my new stuff, but I didn’t detect any problems. I’ll check again more carefully later.

Upon further reflection, a couple more ideas suggest themselves. Madame Seaqueen mentions ‘renewal’ as one possible meaning for the Snake, which makes sense as I work with the computer a lot and this will be a big change for me (Stork+Snake).

Also, as the Queen of Clubs, the Snake can refer to a woman, possibly older, a relative, or clever and manipulative. Well that describes three separate women I spoke to on the phone yesterday! All three older than me, relatives, intelligent, and two of them at least I could describe as sly or manipulative if I was feeling nasty. (Me as the Snake? :p)

One of them spoke of some medical exams she needs to take. Chanah says here that the Snake could mean that ‘tests necessary to come to a proper diagnosis will be fruitful’ and I hope it’s true because she has been suffering and the doctors aren’t clear on the causes.

The Lenormand strikes again, I never cease to be surprised by how much information three little cards can give!

Lady Moon smiles down on me

Yesterday: Key, Moon, Dog

Yesterday was a good day overall and the cards reflect that. The Moon appears again as the central card. Other than the general ‘feel good’ vibe of the day, I suspect there’s a message she brings that I’m not getting…

I finally sent off a job related message that has been on my ‘to do’ list for ages and this made me very happy. I think Key+Moon talk about that, perhaps they also hint that it will be successful.

I also had two meetings, both with colleagues I get along with (Moon+Dog), both of which went rather well and solutions were found (Key or Key+Moon). They will both be doing things that will help my project succeed (Key+Moon+Dog).

Finally, I heard the good news from home that I predicted here! Someone in the family is expecting a baby :)

Emotions in motion

The two previous days: Flowers, Moon, Tower

Looking back, I pulled three cards to describe the weekend that just passed. First the Flowers for a gift that I gave to someone. The Moon I think speaks of the fact that I got  back into the cards a bit more. The Tower in itself reminds me of some things relating to ‘institutions’ that I should have done over the weekend, but didn’t.

I’ve come to see the Flowers as representing ‘making up’ after Madame Seaqueen, this came up before here. And yes, I did have a reconciliation with my partner, after a short period of being rather distanced (Tower). There was a certain amount of fluctuation in the situation over the weekend though (Moon) and I did  feel quite lonely and dejected at times (Moon+Tower). I think this combo also reflects some barely acknowledged fears (Moon) that we would eventually split up and I would be alone (Tower). Flowers+Moon+Tower taken together make me think of an ‘official’ permanent resolution to the emotional/relationship issues, however this didn’t really happen. On the other hand they can describe the eternal cycle (Moon) between good (Flowers) and bad (Towers) periods in the relationship… But that’s natural, isn’t it? :)

Where am I

Where am I: House, Letter, Stars

I decided to do a reading  to see where I stand at the moment, like a ‘You are here’ on a public map. The Lenormand likes to be literal with me, so we have the House and indeed, I’m at home right now :) I’ve been a bit worried about a couple of things having to do with financial security and security in general (House again), so I’m glad to see it looks like good news (Letter+Stars) may be heading my way on that front.

On the other hand it reminds me I need to send a couple of messages (Letter) myself, work related (Stars+Home). Perhaps this means I can hope for a good outcome from one or both of them.

Or perhaps I’ll hear some good news (Letter+Stars)  from back home (House). Always welcome :)

I’m also expecting my new computer to be delivered at home this week (yay!), so it could be that too, hopefully it will be all I whished for.

Reading back this post, I notice a lot of ‘hope’ and ‘wish’. The Star in the tarot is associated in my mind with these words. Could it be that I’ve been doing a lot of wishful thinking lately and need to be a bit more active in helping these wishes become reality? This is in fact very true and happens to be exactly ‘where I am’. Question answered, advice given: Get off your arse and send those emails. If you want good luck, go and get it yourself woman…

Fortune speaks again

About the blog: Cross, Tree, Child

Well, I’m back. A short spell of illness interrupted my daily flow of posting and then work and life off-line got in the way. I pulled a couple of cards to see if the Lenormand had any comments on the issue. It was rather matter of fact about it:

My posting was abruptly interrupted (Cross) due to health issues (Cross+Tree). It took a while to get back on track (Tree for long, slow process), but now I’m back and ready to make new start (Child). In fact I’m considering doing things a bit differently for a while, try something new (Child again). I find myself reluctant to do a lot of predictions regarding my own life at the moment. My mental state is a bit fragile and perhaps I don’t currently have the maturity  to deal with potentially negative readings (Child+Cross?). So I’m thinking of switching to doing the daily readings at the end of the day for some time, and see how that goes.

More fish

Daily: Fish, Paths, Clover

The Fish return for another appearance after yesterday. Both the Fish and the Paths represent ‘a lot’ or ‘many’ in my head, but many what? Initially I pulled two cards, but ending with the uncertainty of the Paths did not appeal to me, so I got another one. A lot of luck? That would be great and very welcome indeed, as I started feeling a bit weird last night and woke up feeling rather ill today. Could the Fish have anything to do with illness? In any case I’m in a good mood despite my sore throat and I hope I’ll make the right choices (Paths) that will lead me to the positive result represented by the Clover. Or it could mean that I only have a little time to decide something (having to do with money?), as the Clover can also be something shortlived.

Good things come… eventually

Daily: Fish, Flowers

Here I was complaining about my daily cards and a nice combo arrived! I pulled the cards in the morning but the whole day passed before writing, so looking back:

I had a very full day and I am coming to think of the Fish as representing that. The Flowers I think represent the reconciliation following the trouble in the weekend. Like Seaqueen writes in her recent post, the Flowers can point to ‘making up’ and in this case indeed they did and I am very glad :)

Bear vs. fox

Daily: Bear, Paths, Fox

Well, I pulled these in the morning but didn’t post until quite late, so this is an after the fact interpretation. It strikes me how the Bear is talking about work and strength of character and how Paths+Fox yet again reflect my wrong choice in how to spend the day. I had a lot of important work to go through, but I was in a weird mood and ended up faffing around all day instead.

But the Bear and the Fox also stand in for my partner and myself and how we each tend to react to trouble and problems between us. He will usually be quite obviously strongheaded about whatever it is, while I will try the subtle route, not always successfully. After a fight the previous day, which was mostly my fault, today he was brooding and silent and I stayed out of his way. On the whole, I can safely say I’ve had better days.

Harvest or harrows?

Daily: Scythe, Fish

I could do with an unambiguous positive card combination for a change… On the bright side, today’s cards could be pointing to a bountiful harvest. I have a lot to do, so this would be good ;) On the other hand, I suppose they’re pointing out that I’m now reaping the results of last night’s fun, as Fish can also stand for drinking and excesses in general. Not that I overdid it, only had a couple of drinks, but I stayed up late and I am feeling a bit worse for wear this morning. The worse case scenario, something unexpected and unpleasant may happen, involving money. I hope not!

Climbing Everest

Daily: Anchor, Mountain

Doesn’t the Anchor look like climbing equipment next to the Mountain? I’m scared of heights and mountain climbing isn’t something I’d do willingly. However, it seems like this is my metaphorical task for today. Take it one step at a time, secure grip and start scaling that mountain. Don’t lose hope and don’t look down. I think I’ll take my own advice, as I’ve got a long day ahead and thinking about all the stuff I have to do gives me vertigo. I hope the Mountain holds no more nasty surprises, like yesterday’s one.
